On March 11, 2021 The Spirit of Great Oak received an invitation to perform in the Rome New Year's Day Parade and Frascati Music Festival for the 2023-24 New Year Celebration. 2+ years in the making, this turned out to be one of the most memorable performance adventures for The Spirit of Great Oak. Grazie to our amazing hosts, our guide Matteo, and the people of Italy for welcoming us to your beautiful country and giving us the opportunity to share our cultures through music. Bravo!
